sg14 workshop

The sg2014 Workshop will be organised around Clusters. Clusters are hubs of expertise. They comprise of people, knowledge, tools, materials and machines. The Clusters provide a focus for workshop participants working together within a common framework.

Clusters provide a forum for the exchange of ideas, processes and techniques and act as a catalyst for design resolution. The sg2014 Workshop is made up of ten Clusters that respond in diverse ways to the challenge 'Urban Compaction'.

design space exploration for urban compaction

Design space exploration for Urban Compaction will investigate new computational design methods to synthesise urban designs according to specified requirements.

flows, bits, relationships: visualising social space

Champions: Kyle Steinfeld + Carlos Sandoval + John Victor-Faichney

Flows, Bits, Relationships: Visualizing Social Space will experiment with organizing data through an interconnected graph database to develop new ways to visualize and understand the spatial complexity of Hong Kong’s dense, interconnected commercial spaces.

HK_smarTowers

HK_smarTOWERS, drawing on the ubiquity of the high rise in Hong Kong, will focus on data harnessed from this typology and on its analysis and visualization, as well as its use as design driver for novel approaches to tower massing, structure and organization.

spaces in experience

Spaces in Experience will explore human experience in relation to adaptive environments through experiential sketching: a combination of actor training, people tracking, physical modelling and augmented reality.
